Defragmenting the disk on a regular basis can be quite useful for the overall health of your computer. Smart Defrag Portable is a small tool that was created to help you with this entire process.

The app has a simple interface and a clean layout, making it easy to handle. In the main frame you can view a list of all drives that the program can work on, as well as various details regarding them, such as the status, free and total size, file system, automatic defrag and boot time defrag status. Additional files and folders can be added to the list with great ease.

There are three different ways that the program can perform the defragmentation: “Defrag Only”, “Defrag and Fast Optimize” or “Defrag and Fully Optimize”. The app can shut down the computer once the task is completed. Alternatively, the system may be sent to sleep or into hibernate mode.

There is also an additional feature that enables users to turn on automatic defragmentation. It can be initiated once a volume has been idle for more than several minutes and it pauses whenever resource usage exceeds a certain value.

Full reports may be created for all operations and viewed through the dedicated tab window.

Since the app is completely portable it doesn’t need to be installed to the computer in order to work and can be launched from any type of removable device, such as flash drives.

The bottom line is that Smart Defrag Portable is a nice tool that is sure to come in handy whenever you want to defragment volumes. The intuitive interface makes the program easy to figure out even by the less experienced users.
